Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The night is getting deeper and deeper, the bright moon hanging high in the sky is shining brightly, and the stars are shining brightly.

The rows of candlesticks in the quiet ancient village are dotted with light, and the evening breeze blows across the buildings, as if something is whispering.

Lu Mingfei got up in a daze at night, but when he came back, he found that there was someone missing in the hall. Senior Brother Lu was not there.

"The president has gone out to investigate. Since you're awake, don't go to sleep and switch shifts with me."

Qilan yawned, and they took turns keeping vigil.

Lu Mingfei patted his face, walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked out. He felt like there was some ghost hidden in the dark night, which was inexplicably chilling.

At this time, Lu Chen was wandering around the village. He wanted to see what evil things would happen at night. During this period, he also went to see the pyramid.

Finally, he sat on the top of the pyramid and watched the rising and falling black tide, but found nothing unusual.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked to confirm. The light shone on his face, showing the command room of the execution department.

"Did you find anything?"

Schneider asked, the college headquarters has been paying attention to this task.

"Except for this pyramid that shouldn't exist, I haven't found anything unusual so far. I patrolled around at night and there were no dragon creatures."

Lu Chen said and asked, "What do the tenured professors at the college headquarters say about this pyramid?"

"The tenured professors prefer that this is a back-projection of the Nibelungen," Schneider said.

"Reverse projection?"

Lu Chen didn't quite understand this statement.

"To put it simply, this pyramid originally existed in a Mayan village. I asked Norma to collect aerial photos of the area after the 1970s. After comparison, more than 90% of the time, this pyramid The pyramids are there, they are real."

Schneider continued: "On the contrary, because this is a small place, satellites do not often take pictures here, so we neglected it before. When they saw that this was an open space, the commissioners had no doubts. After all, even if they adjusted the recent aerial photography records , and the pyramids were not there, so no one suspected it at first.”

Lu Chen touched the pyramid beneath him thoughtfully. What the instructor said made sense. If what he saw here was an empty cliff and the Mayans didn't take the initiative to mention that there had been a pyramid here, none of the commissioners would. Questions about this place.

"So... only when the commissioners came two times last time, the pyramid was not there, but what we saw was normal?"

Lu Chen confirmed.

"This is probably what it means. The tenured professors speculated that when the pyramid disappeared, the Nibelung illusion came into reality and wiped out the pyramid. In other words, the previous commissioner was probably in the Nibelung after entering the village. It’s in the cracks between the roots, but no one noticed it.”

Lu Chen was a little confused after hearing this, "But there is no problem with daily communication. If it is caught in the cracks and under the force field of the Dragon Clan, the electronic equipment should fail, right?"

He was once trapped on the Arctic Icefield with Brother Chu. At that time, even the satellite phone with strong signal failed, and it was a maze that could not be exited. There was no problem in entering and exiting the village. He just tried to sneak on the beach. One lap.

Schneider was silent for a moment, "...the words of tenured professors can only be used as a reference. We still know too little about the Dragon Clan."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If you think about it carefully, professors always cheat me."

With that said, he stood up and said, "I will stay here for a few days. If there is no result, let the execution department spend money to clear the area and turn this place upside down."

"We are already communicating with the local government and we will buy the land."

Schneider nodded. Lu Chen was a valuable combat force of the secret party. Even if it was to train new students, the war practice class could not delay Lu Chen for too long. If the Dragon Clan disappeared, they would use the toughest methods.

Lu Chen cut off the communication and returned to the house. There were still a few hours before dawn, so he could take a nap to rest his mind.

In the early morning, the sun penetrates the wooden house through the curtains woven with vines.

Lu Chen opened his eyes. Nothing happened all night, and nothing unusual happened.

The previous two groups of commissioners disappeared on the first night, and he thought it would be unsafe every night.

But it was surprisingly quiet last night, which made Lu Chen feel even more bored.

The villagers all left at dawn, basically going to the beach to do business and make money.

Like last night, they had breakfast in Ichichel's large room.

"Everyone, how was your rest last night?"

Ixichel greeted everyone while serving food.

“It can be considered as a taste of the Mayan ethnic customs.”

Lu Chen replied, in fact, no one slept well last night, both boys and girls were vigilant and took turns to keep vigil, but the mixed-races were very energetic, so missing a few hours of sleep would not have much impact.

The freshmen at the dinner table didn't speak. They spent the night that was previously rumored to be a "missing night", but there were no real clues.

During the meal, a gray-brown striped native cat walked leisurely from outside the door. Looking at its original bag hanging under its belly, you can tell that this guy is usually very well-nourished.

When the little fat cat saw Ixichel, he trotted over with cheerful steps and rubbed his legs affectionately, not caring that there were many strangers in the room.

"Wow, what a cute cat."

Eriki's eyes shone brightly, and Kotono and Grace also took a second look.

"It's called Dudu."

Ixichel knelt down and touched Dudu's head. Dudu also raised his head and pressed it into his palm, looking like he was enjoying it.

The early morning sun shines on the girl and the cat, showing indescribable tenderness. It is hard to imagine that a sensational disappearance is taking place in this village.

"Meow~meow~"

After seeing the owner finish touching himself, he got up and continued to serve the rice. Dudu became a little anxious and followed the owner beside him while barking, vowing to beg for food before he stopped.

"Dudu, didn't I feed you when I got up early? It's time for you to lose weight."

Ixichel was indifferent and kicked his legs, trying to drive Dudu away and stop pestering her.

Seeing those people sitting there eating, Dudu scurried around under the dining table, as if he wanted to see if any kind-hearted stranger would give him something to eat.

As a former stray cat, after passing the low-level stage of hunting in the jungle and digging through trash cans, it has mastered a higher-end skill, which is begging for food.

Dudu circled around, but everyone was indifferent. Finally, it ran to Eri's feet, rubbed its round head against the girl's calf, and meowed.

Eriki leaned over and touched Dudu's head carefully. Dudu didn't resist, which made her very happy, so she pinched Dudu's face.

"Meow~meow~"

Dudu raised his head and looked at Eriyi longingly, hoping that this beautiful human girl could give him a meal.

Eriyi couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up a piece of chicken breast in the bowl with chopsticks, put it in her hand, and put it down carefully.

He sniffed it with his nose and felt that it tasted good. He opened his mouth and was about to take it away, but was ruthlessly interrupted by another hand.

Eriki's hand was slapped, the chicken breast fell to the ground, and Ixichel's nervous voice came, "You can't feed it!"

Eriki looked up at Ixichel and felt a little at a loss, thinking that she had done something wrong and shouldn't feed other people's cats.

The atmosphere in the scene became awkward for a moment, and everyone focused their attention on Ixichel.

Ixichel first put the rice basin on the table, then picked up the piece of chicken breast, and then smiled apologetically at Eriki: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, Dudu can't eat these things. of."

"Don't cats like to eat things like chicken breasts?"

When Lu Chen was a child, there was a stray cat in the village. He knew what cats ate. Although the food cooked by humans was not good for cats, it was better than starving to death.

Under Dudu's disappointed eyes, Ixichel threw the chicken breast into the trash can, took out a tissue and wiped her hands, sat down in her seat, and touched Dudu's head.

"There are too many seasonings added to the food we eat. Most cats will be fine if they eat a little as a snack once in a while, but they... can't eat it."

Isicher explained that it is harmful for cats to be exposed to a large amount of human seasonings, salt, etc. "It...is terminally ill, and it is easy to get sick if it eats these things."

"Terminal...disease?"

Eriyi looked at Dudu with some doubts. Dudu looked very healthy.

Ixichel touched Dudu's head and sighed: "Dudu has congenital myocardial hypertrophy. He had pulmonary edema and feline thrombosis before due to this stress."

"Ah, so serious?"

In fact, Eriki didn't quite understand what diseases they were, but they sounded scary.

Zero glanced at Dudu, who was enjoying the touch of his master on the ground, "It's not dead?"

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly dropped to a freezing point. The students all felt deeply that she was worthy of being the Iceberg Queen, and her questions were not tactful at all.

As if aware of the strange looks from his classmates, Zero explained: "This is indeed a terminal illness, and the three-day mortality rate of cats complicated by thrombosis and pulmonary edema is as high as 99.7%, and the case of cat thrombosis cured... around the world It’s zero.”

She was not cursing Dudu. Once a cat develops thrombosis, even if it does not die, it will definitely be paralyzed for the rest of the time. And no one can survive more than a year. The next time it develops, it will be 100% fatal.

But the cat now looks lively and active, moving without any inconvenience, just like a normal cat.

Ixichel hugged Dudu and smiled, "Then it's not zero now."

"How did you cure it?"

Lu Mingfei asked curiously. Or rather, everyone was curious. Do the Mayans have any mysterious medical skills?

Ixichel put Dudu on the ground, walked to the side, took a jar, and poured some of her homemade cat food. Dudu happily went over and buried his head in it.

Ixichel sat back and said, "It's not something that can't be said. It was probably two years ago. Dudu didn't know what he saw at night. He was startled and screamed terribly. After I got up, I went to appease it, but I didn’t see any thieves, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. As a result, when I woke up the next morning, Dudu couldn’t walk, which scared me at the time.”

She picked up the wooden spoon and helped everyone fill the rice, "Then I hurriedly rode Dudu to the pet hospital in the city."

"Pet Hospital?"

Lu Mingfei was a little puzzled. He thought it was cured by a seemingly expert wizard like Granny Keya.

Ixichel put a bowl of rice in front of Lu Mingfei, "What else? Granny Keya knows some medical skills, but they are all local methods. They are not effective in treating diseases, let alone treating Dudu. I I can only go to the city to find a veterinarian.”

No one interrupted, so she continued: "After I was sent to the hospital, the doctor looked at me, called me to his office, and handed me a piece of paper..." The girl's voice was trembling, even after two years, She could also recall her feelings at that time: "...notification of critical illness."

Eriki covered her mouth and was also worried, "Ah, what should I do?"

"You can only sign. Doctors will not treat you if you don't sign, because they are afraid of disputes. To put it simply, they will treat you after you sign. If Dudu fails in the end, I cannot hold you accountable."

Ixichel filled a small basin with rice and placed it in front of Lu Chen. "On the first day, the doctor used a lot of medicine and put Dudu in an oxygen tank. But at night, the doctor called me out and asked me to I recommend……"

Ixichel was trembling, and his hand holding the wooden spoon was very strong, "...euthanasia."

She looked back at Dudu who was eating cat food carelessly, "Because the doctor said that this is a terminal illness and cannot be cured, and Dudu is suffering from cat thrombosis and pulmonary edema every second. It was extremely painful, and I could see Dudu shivering in pain. The doctor said that in this case they would usually recommend direct euthanasia, but because I love Dudu very much, I didn’t say anything about it in the morning.”

She smiled miserably, "Maybe the doctor saw that I was a Mayan girl from the village with little money, and he was kind-hearted. I received top-notch treatment there. For me, every day is an astronomical amount."

"But you didn't give up."

Lu Chen looked at this Mayan girl.

Ixichel nodded, "Of course I didn't give up, how could I give up? I have been with Dudu since I was a child. Apart from Granny Keya, Dudu is my only relative in this world. He always shows up when I am sad. It makes me laugh, and it will lie on my feet to keep me warm in the cold winter. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be alone in a big house on a cold night without Dudu... I How can we give up Dudu?"

"Maybe I'm too selfish and don't want Dudu to leave me. It's obvious that it's so painful when it's fighting the disease."

Ixichel served everyone the rice and sat down, "I returned to the separate ward that I applied for at a high price, opened the small opening of the oxygen tank, and put my hand in. Dudu turned his head and looked at me with great difficulty. It was in pain and very weak, but it still tried its best to open its watery eyes and look at me."

The rice has been served, but no one moved their chopsticks. They were all attracted by the heavy story of the Mayan girl.

Eriki imagined what that scene would be like. The fifteen-year-old girl and Dudu looked at each other across the oxygen chamber. The eyes of the man and the cat reflected each other, full of reluctance.

One is reluctant to leave, and the other tries his best to keep her.

Ixichel continued: "I can understand what Dudu means. Dudu doesn't want to die. It's very painful, but it's still insisting. So I tore up the euthanasia document in my hand, went out and told the doctor, I want to Keep treating.”
